You will lose access to the EF2800 after the change takes effect. If
the EF2800 is not already connected to your LAN, you should
connect it now.
You should now use the new IP addresses you just set up to access
the EF2800 using SAM. For more information, see Section
3.3 ,
"Accessing SAM" on page 48 .
3.4.1 Configuring the HTTP Setting
By default, hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) is enabled on the
EF2800. If you cannot access your EF2800 using SAM, you should use
the RS-232 connections to each SM and the Disk Array Administrator
software to check that the HTTP setting is enabled. For more
information, refer to Appendix
I , "LAN Configuration" on page 321 .
3.5 Setting SAM Passwords and Preferences
Once you access SAM, you can set up the user passwords and
preferences.
3.5.1 Setting SAM Passwords
You can set up SAM passwords for two types of users: .
• Monitor: These users only have access to the functions on the
Monitor EF2800
menu. The default password is monitor. Up to
three monitor-only users can be logged in at a time.
• Manage: These users have access to all SAM functions. The default
password is manage. Only one manage user can be logged in at a
time.
SAM distinguishes users by their IP addresses. If you log in to SAM from
multiple browser instances from the same host, SAM considers all
instances as a single user. Actions you take in one SAM instance,
selecting an array for example, will be reflected in the other SAM
instances on the same host. We do not recommend logging in more than
once from the same host.
